Everything Will Be Alright
J. Randall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Same old hassle every night
All we do is fuss and fight
Ain't no use in talking,
Might as well start walking
Walking out into the night
You get your gun, I'll get mine
We can do it just one time
If we live no longer,
It won't get no stronger
Then we'll know who's really right
All we do is weep and moan
Trying to build ourself a home
Ain't no shame in trying,





Ain't no use denying
Everything will be alright

Overall Meaning

At first glance, the lyrics of J. Randall's "Everything Will Be Alright" appear to be about a relationship on the verge of collapse. The opening lines speak of a "same old hassle" that occurs each night, resulting in constant fighting and arguing. The suggestion is made to just give up and walk out into the night, each individual taking their gun with them.


However, the song takes a much more surprising turn with the next line, "If we live no longer, it won't get no stronger". The suggestion seems to be that the only way to resolve the constant battles is to have a shoot-out and see who comes out alive, bringing an unexpected level of violence to the situation.


But there's a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness in the repeated refrain that "everything will be alright". It's hard to tell whether this is a sincere expression of belief or a desperate attempt to reassure oneself, but the line is repeated enough times to suggest that the idea has taken hold and is being clung to as a life raft.


Overall, the song seems to reflect the desperation that can arise in relationships that have become toxic and unworkable. Despite the violence hinted at in the lyrics, the repeated refrain is a plea for hope and faith that things can still turn around and work out in the end.
